What is IFS therapy
Interal Family Systems (IFS) is a transformative model of therapy and personal development, developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz in the 1980s.
IFS is an evidence-based approach that will help you create real change in your life, not by suppressing your feelings or trying to fix yourself, but by building a new relationship with what is happening inside you.
It views the mind as naturally multiple, composed of a system of protective and wounded inner parts (i.e. aspects of the mind, ego states, subpersonalities). These parts can become extreme in their emotions, beliefs and behaviors due to unprocessed wounds of the past leading to inner conflict and dysfunction that spills out into our external life.
At the core of IFS is the belief that our true Self—the wise, loving, and whole spiritual essence of who we are—is both distinct from these parts and the natural leader of our internal system. Known by many spiritual traditions as the soul, atma, buddha nature, highest self, inner light, etc, this true Self holds the innate wisdom, qualities and capacity to heal and harmonize the system.
By accessing our true Self and compassionately relating to our parts, we can begin to understand and attune to our parts' needs, desires, and concerns, providing them the love, safety and belonging they so desperately need.
"IFS therapy is one of the most innovative, intuitive, comprehensive and transformational therapies to have emerged in the present century."

Imagine what it would be like if...
those difficult emotions like anxiety, guilt, or anger no longer run a show in your life.
you could sleep through the night, your digestion would improve, and the stress and tension in your body would go away.
that constant noise in your mind would be gone, and you could live more presently and enjoy every moment of your life.
you felt confident and calm within yourself. You were able to make the right decisions and trust yourself.
your relationships with other people would improve, as you were no longer so irritable by others and were able to listen deeply to others and connect with them on a higher level.
you connected with your inner Self, with your intuition, with the energy of peace, security, and love.

Working with Šárka has been a deeply enriching experience. Her gentle guidance, empathetic presence, and commitment to IFS principles create such a safe and nurturing space for exploration and healing. Šárka’s ability to bring her gentle presence into each session is remarkable; she listens with both heart and wisdom, allowing me to feel seen, heard, and understood. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking transformative and compassionate therapy.

Couples therapist and the owner of the retreat center in South France
Working with Šárka has been amazing. I was feeling stuck on a negative experience I’d had a few years ago, and couldn’t seem to move forward properly with my life. In my sessions with Šárka I discovered parts of myself I hadn’t met before, and afterwards I felt so much more safe in myself. I thought it was going to be really uncomfortable and hard, but it was actually sooo joyful! I’m excited to keep exploring my inner world now, thanks Šárka!
